Newtonian constitutive form for a Cauchy flow
A Cauchy flow in -dimensional space is Newtonian with respect to the scalar fields of pressure , shear viscosity , and second viscosity if its stress tensor satisfies the Newtonian constitutive relation: for all times and spatial positions , where is the velocity field of the flow, is the identity matrix, is the spatial velocity gradient, and is the divergence of the velocity field.
